Oi Polloi's first studio recording was a demo entitled Destroi the System, which is believed to have been released in 1984 or 1985. After the now defunct music weekly Sounds gave their previous home-recorded demo a favourable review, demand increased for gigs further afield. A second studio demo, Green Anarchoi followed before the release of the first vinyl offering, Resist the Atomic Menace. The line-up of the group has starred an impressive fifty members since their formation, making up the countless incarnations of the band. The band is currently based in Scotland.

No More Roads Lyrics

Oi Polloi

Swarming over the fence in droves
We're gonna stop this road
Handcuffed to the machinery
In defence of beautiful greenery
People come from far and near
To stop the road right here
Earthmovers trashed in the dead of night
It's time to stand up and fight

Reclaim the streets
Reclaim the land
No more roads
It's in your hands

Lying down in front of the bulldozer
A courageous young girl shows her
Determination to see It through
An inspiration to me and you
To stop this road to destruction
Put an end to motrway construction
From Kernow up to Caledonia
In the spirit of Wastonia

No more roads - cars kill
No more roads - make you ill
No more roads - cars kill

Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!
Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!
